En route, weather conditions worsened with low ceiling and reduced visibility due to fog, forcing the crew to return to his departure point. While cruising at low height, the crew initiated a right turn when the right wing tip struck the ground, causing the aircraft to crash, bursting into flames. Both crew members were killed.
